Miles & Points Sale

For the past couple of weeks, IHG One Rewards has been running another another one of its points sales and this one has been allowing members to buy up to 400,000 points at a cost of just 0.5 cents per point. This sale is set to end tomorrow and even though this deal isn't isn't anything new, for some it offers a good opportunity to top up an account at the best rate that IHG usually sells its points. If you need IHG points, now many be the time to buy.

Qatar Airways has launched a new Avios flash sale in which it's offering bonuses of up to 60% for Avios purchases made through 2 February (Sunday). The bonuses on offer will vary from account to account, the price you'll pay per Avios will vary depending on how many Avios you buy, and as we've seen in a few other Avios sales, the price may also vary depending on where your Qatar Airways account is based.

United Airlines has been selling its miles with a 100% bonus since the first week of the month but the promotion is set to be pulled at the end of today.

Finnair Plus is now running a new Avios sale in which it's offering discounts of up to 50% for Avios purchases made through 20 November and the price you'll pay per Avios will vary depending on how many Avios you buy. Unlike some other Avios sales, however, the price won't vary depending on where your Finnair Plus account is based, and for some people, there may be a good deal here.

Marriott has unveiled a new points sale today and this sale appears to be an slight improvement over the last sale we saw which ended back in September. Back then, the best bonus on offer was for 40% while this time around we're seeing bonuses as high as 45%.

Hilton is back with yet another mystery points sale just a couple of weeks after the last points sale ended, so it's probably time that we stop thinking of these events as 'sales' and start thinking of the times when a sale isn't on as an aberration.

Virgin Atlantic's has brought back the best points sale that we see it run, and that means that for the next few weeks, Virgin Atlantic Flying Club members can buy points from 0.89 pence each (UK accounts) or from 1.48 cents each (US accounts).

For the second month running, Alaska Airlines has launched a new mileage sale in which it's offering select Mileage Plan members a mystery maximum bonus which varies from account to account.

With the British Airways flash sale on Avios ending yesterday, Aer Lingus has now joined in the fun and launched its own sale in which it's offering a 50% bonus on most purchases. This is better than the British Airways sale which just ended and in some ways it's better than the Finnair Avios sale which is still in progress (it ends on 18 September), so this sale may be worth considering.

Finnair has been running an Avios sale since the middle of last week and British Airways has just launched a new flash sale, and the key thing for Avios collectors to know right now is that it while both sales are offering different bonuses, the best sale for you may not be the one offering the highest headline bonus.

Back in October 2022, in what may have been a world-first for a major airline loyalty program, the British Airways Executive Club introduced a subscription service that permits its members to purchase Avios at a highly discounted rate. In this article, we take a look at what this subscription service offers.
